7. A new retail product was released to production by your company. Shortly after the release it was
apparent that there were numerous problems with the point of sale application. This resulted in a
number of customer complaints and negative postings on social media encouraging people to take their
business to your competitor. You have investigated the problems and have discovered that the
production point of sale equipment is a later model than the model used in testing. The software
functions correctly on the old version, but fails on the later model.

A. The root cause is the old equipment and the effect is the new equipment
B. The root cause is the customer complaints and the effect is the social media postings
C. The root cause is conducting the testing on the wrong version of the equipment and the effect is the customer complaints and postings
D. The root cause is the software failing on the later model and the effect is the customer complaints
C. The root cause is conducting the testing on the wrong version of the equipment and the effect is the customer complaints and postings

B. Coverage of the risk items by test case
C. Traceability between the requirements and the risk items
D. Coverage of the requirements by the test cases that have been designed
A. Traceability between the test cases and the requirements
